Due to cross breeding and cultural influences, pure-bred Movie Hounds are uncommon, and the astonishing variety of contemporary Movie Hounds seen lurking in theaters and video stores can trace their origins to just a few distinct breeds. The temperaments and behavioral characteristics of the classic breeds are expressed to varying degrees in all Movie Hounds, and whether a prospective owner is looking for a working guide dog or simply a movie companion the personalities and idiosyncrasies of BOTH the owner and the hound should be carefully considered before making a choice.

An extreme rarity among Movie Hounds, the pure Uber Hund is highly prized for his discernment, which is all too often absent in the common breeds. Uber Hund is intelligent, informed, literate, and open minded, but not uncritically accepting. He has excellent taste in movies, without being stuffy or condescending. He recognizes innovation, but is not seduced by mere trendiness. He has a sophisticated sense of humor and doesn't confuse irony with cynicism. He vigorously defends his opinions, but does not show undue aggression towards hounds with differing views. The well socialized Uber Hund has a natural desire to get along with others and will bark only as the situation requires. In short, this fine specimen is the ideal movie companion dog
